Charlie Puth puts up Instagram story for Kanye West
Charlie Puth has spoken out against Kanye West following the rapper’s controversial Super Bowl ad. In an Instagram Story, Puth called West’s actions “incredibly dangerous” and urged him to stop.
West’s ad, which aired near the end of the Super Bowl, directed viewers to his Yeezy website. While the site initially displayed various products, by the next day, only a single item remained. It was a T-shirt featuring a swastika. Puth expressed concern over the influence West holds, writing, “MILLIONS of people are influenced by you. Please I BEG you to stop, PLEASE.”
The Anti-Defamation League also condemned West’s actions, pointing out that the swastika is a symbol long associated with Nazi ideology and white supremacy. They further noted that the shirt’s label, “HH-01,” appeared to be coded language for “Heil Hitler.” The organization criticized West for using his platform to promote hate, adding that his recent social media activity has been filled with antisemitic rhetoric.

West’s ad was reportedly a local placement rather than a nationwide commercial, but it was later re-aired on Fox. West has previously made antisemitic statements, including expressing admiration for Adolf Hitler. His actions have drawn widespread backlash, with figures like David Schwimmer calling for Elon Musk to ban him from X (formerly Twitter).
The controversy comes shortly after his appearance at the 2025 Grammys with his wife, Bianca Censori, whose revealing outfit also sparked conversation.
